okkaayy.... almost there.
with your initial suggestion of commenting the call waitforchannelchange changing channels in 'live tv' appeared to work, but changing the channel would result in seeing the previous channel then actually seeing the encoder switch channels to the intended. this worked in general but crashed on the odd occasion whilst switching ( resulting in transitional picture on screen, encoder being tuned into something (not allowing other frontend to use it) and also not allowing me to exit from the screwed up output screen.)
the second suggestion of adding a time.sleep(x) line (i tried x=4 first) this resulted in the same thing (again initially working then crashing out on channel switches)
i increased x=6, which improved things. i hardly saw any channel switches on the screen. but sadly, i did see the odd channel switch on screen and occasionally it crashed it.
are we meant to see channels switching on the screen?
i am using a wireless connection to my xbox, when tuned into a channel i can watch live tv perfectly, i haven't tried the channel hopping with a wired connection yet?
what do you think madtw?
thanks
